"Wanwan, someone tried to touch me, I'm not clean anymore." Lu Jingyan complained to Shi Wan like a spoiled puppy.
"Hmm?" Shi Wan frowned slightly. Did this man think she was deaf with so many people around?
Everyone: ...
Zhou Yuan: His face darkened, speechless.
Lu Jingyan, who was just acting all high and mighty a moment ago, now looked pitiful as he wandered around Shi Wan, as if he was the one who had been bullied.
The originally noisy backstage area instantly fell silent because of Lu Jingyan's words.
Although Lu Jingyan behaved obediently in front of Shi Wan, it was only obedient in front of Shi Wan; those around him could still feel the man's powerful and unapproachable aura.
The backstage staff occasionally looked up to scrutinize the two women in haute couture gowns. The girl was beautiful and had a captivating figure, while the man was tall and slender with strikingly handsome, sculpted features.
"No wonder he didn't like that girl earlier. With a girlfriend as beautiful as her, who would even look at someone else?"
"Yeah, she's so pretty. If it were me, I'd stick to her every day."
When Shi Wan came out from backstage, she felt that the atmosphere had become very subtle. In addition, Lu Jingyan immediately complained, and the people around her were whispering.
Just as he was about to turn to ask the teacher who had led the team with him, before anyone could speak, Lu Jingyan stretched out his long arm, kissed the ear of the little woman in his arms, and then carried Shi Wan out of the backstage area.
Shi Wan's face flushed instantly. She reached out and pinched Lu Jingyan's side, but he didn't react at all and instead deliberately hugged her tighter.
As soon as the two entered the banquet hall, they attracted the amazed gazes of everyone present. Given Lu Jingyan's status in Kyoto, everyone present recognized him, and some of those who had attended the Ji family banquets recognized Shi Wan as Master Wuwang's student.
Shi Wan had practiced dancing since childhood, and her demeanor was no less elegant than that of any socialite. She greeted those around her with a slight smile.
Because it was a charity gala, the two did not want to linger too long. Such an occasion was not suitable for excessive ostentation, after all, they were not the main characters today.
Lu Jingyan whispered a few words to Shi Wan gently, which made the little woman in his arms chuckle softly.
Lu Jingyan held Shi Wanying's waist with one hand and whispered in her ear. When he looked up at the second floor, he raised an eyebrow.
From the private room on the second floor, one could see the banquet hall. Lu Jingyan narrowed his cold eyes, his gaze fixed on the second floor with an exceptionally chilling intensity.
He didn't pay much attention to the people on the second floor, but tightened his grip on Shi Wan's hand, and the two of them took the elevator up to the private room on the second floor with their fingers intertwined.
At this moment, Feng Yunzhou, sitting upstairs, stared intently at the two intimate figures downstairs with his dark eyes. His narrowed eyes revealed a dangerous aura. That was his woman, and she shouldn't be standing next to Lu Jingyan.
Qin Mo seemed to sense the sudden change in his friend's aura and glanced down at the people below.
He knew some things were inappropriate to say in this setting, but Feng Yunzhou's inexplicable behavior might be related to the beauty downstairs.
Unable to contain himself, he said awkwardly, "Yunzhou, there's no need to make things difficult for Lu Jingyan. The billions you just lost were just a small test for Lu's business. This girl seems very happy now, and you're getting married soon too."
Qin Mo's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke. He glanced at Feng Yunzhou, who was now following him like a demon, and shrugged. Oh well, let him suffer the pain of love on his own. It's pointless to try to persuade him.
At this moment, in a corner of the banquet hall, a pair of gloomy eyes stared at Shi Wan, who was smiling sweetly beside Lu Jingyan, and the jealous gaze followed her all the way upstairs.
Ye Jiajia raised her hand and called the waiter over. She whispered a few words in the waiter's ear, then revealed a meaningful smile.
In a private room on the second floor, Lu Jingyan looked down and played with the girl's slender, soft fingertips, occasionally kneading her delicate waist.
"Wanwan..." The tip of his nose gently rubbed against Shi Wan's neck, and he would lightly touch her neck with his lips from time to time, like scattered flames of heat falling.
Shi Wan, whose neck was flushed red from Lu Jingyan's actions, muttered complaints about the man's restless behavior, but all her efforts were in vain.
"Hey... Lu Gou, can't you be a little more discreet!" Chu Ningxuan appeared at the door of the private room at an inopportune moment. Seeing Shi Wan trembling slightly in Lu Jingyan's arms, he rushed over with a dissatisfied look on his face.
However, he was immediately driven back by a cold and unsatisfied look from Lu Jingyan as soon as he got close.
Chu Ningxuan awkwardly touched the tip of his nose, then turned to Shi Wan with a bright smile, "Shi Wan, it's been a long time!"
"Hmm, it's been a long time, Brother Chu." Her voice was soft and gentle. Shi Wan was already blushing from being hugged and kissed by Lu Jingyan, and then Chu Ningxuan, who had barged in uninvited, saw her. She wished she could disappear into the ground.
After saying that, he shamelessly sat down to Shi Wan's left and said, "Come sit with Brother Chu for a while. My older brother is here today too. I'll take you to meet him."
"Chu Ningyi is back?" Lu Jingyan's eyes turned cold instantly as he turned to stare at Chu Ningxuan.
"Cough...cough, yes, I was telling my older brother that Xiao Wan was a student of Master Wuwang. You know my older brother has a crazy collecting obsession with calligraphy and paintings."
Chu Ningxuan answered Lu Jingyan with a somewhat evasive look, not forgetting to wink at Shi Wan.
On one hand, Shi Wan is Master Wu Wang's student, and on the other hand, he also secretly wants his older brother to see Shi Wan. Every time he sees the small red mole on Shi Wan's nose, he feels very familiar with it, but he just can't remember it.
"Hmph~ What kind of calligraphy and paintings does your Chu family want that requires my wife's help?" Lu Jingyan's thin lips curled into a cold smile.
"Xiao Shiwan, given your relationship with Brother Chu, we should keep the good stuff in the family, right?" Chu Ningxuan's fawning expression made Lu Jingyan's thin lips curl into a cold smile.
"Then, could you let me have that piece of land in northern Beijing?" The casual question caused Chu Ningxuan's expression to change drastically.
"Brother Lu, this is a game we don't play between good brothers!"
